But if Winston is satisfied with what he did a year ago, he certainly hasn't acted like it. Florida State quarterbacks coach Randy Sanders said he hasn't seen any signs of complacency from the All-American quarterback.

"It would be very easy for a guy that accomplished all of the things he accomplished last year, won the awards he won last year, to feel like he's got it all figured out," Sanders said.

"He's been really hungry. He's been really eager to learn. And has had a great attitude all the way through camp.

"He's not only tried to get himself better, but he's had to try to get those around him (better, too). … And he's done a good job with that, but he also understands he's got to get himself ready to do his job."

Both Winston and Sanders admit there is room to improve for the sophomore quarterback, too.

As good as he was in 2013, and for most of the season he was extraordinary, there are a few kinks that Sanders and head coach Jimbo Fisher are still trying to iron out.

"I think there are a lot of fundamental things that he could work on and needed to work on," Sanders said. "The feet, the balance, his drops, transferring his weight when he's throwing. All of those thing which allow him to be more accurate."

Winston agreed about the fundamentals, but there were other aspects of the position that he mentioned as well. Because as Sanders said, being a good quarterback is about more than just being good individually.

It's about affecting teammates as well.

"Team chemistry," Winston said. "Never letting it go below our standards at Florida State. You know, we're champions. So we're going to act like champions in everything we do. And we're going to play like champions when we're on the field."

As for his individual goals, he said he's not worried about them at all.

He was asked if he ever thought about becoming just the second player ever to win two Heisman Trophies.

"Never," Winston said. "It's not about me. It's not about us."

He added: "I haven't set any individual goals. Just team goals. And the first goal is to win the national championship."

Again. Only three teams (Nebraska, USC, Alabama) since 1980 have been able to repeat as national champions.

Last year, Florida State torched everyone on the schedule not named Auburn. Only once in the regular season, against Boston College, was a team within 14 points in the fourth quarter.

Will the Seminoles blitz everyone like that again in 2014? Probably not. As talented as they are again this year, the odds are that at some point they will find themselves in a close game during the regular season.

The schedule figures to be tougher for Florida State in 2014. And the target on No. 5 and the rest of the Seminoles has grown exponentially since last season.

Winston understands this.

And according to the star quarterback, he's ready for it. And so are his teammates.

"You've got to stay hungry," Winston said. "And I'm constantly on guys. Our leaders of the team are constantly on guys, because we always have that chip on our shoulder.
